ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The reconstruction of anterior or subtotal tympanic membrane perforations is critical due to the risk of anterior graft medialisation and retraction or recurrent perforation.

METHOD: After reconstruction of the tympanic membrane by means of grafting, a rectangular cartilage strut (length 6 mm, breadth 2 mm, thickness 0.1 mm) is prepared using a cartilage knife and scalpel. This strut graft is placed between the cartilage graft and the promontory in the anterior inferior part of the middle ear cavity.

CONCLUSION: Our experience shows that using a U-shaped cartilage strut to sustain the tympanic reconstruction effectively prevents the medialisation of the graft and recurrent perforations.
